The effects on soil and cotton quality of organic wastes from medicinal and aromatic plant factories were investigated with regard to the risks of boron and heavy metal pollution. Oily cumin, oregano, oilless oregano wastes, and mineral fertilizers were applied to cotton in two field experiments performed in the years 2003 and 2006. The Pb content of the soil differed significantly in the 2003 experiment and oregano wastes had significantly decreasing effect. Boron of soil to which oily cumin wastes had been applied reached a toxic limit value in 2006. Boron in soil adversely affected long fibres; B in leaves had a positive effect on the fineness of fibres in 2006. Soil Ni adversely affected plant height in 2006 and seed cotton yield in 2003. Leaf Ni had an adverse effect on fibre elasticity in 2006. Soil Co increased ginning out-turn and Cr decreased the fibre fineness of cotton in 2003.

Sea Coast

In the Bulgarian part of the Black Sea coast there are seventeen rivers and three lakes which contribute to the pollution and eutrophication of the Black Sea. The hydrophysical and hydrological characteristics of these rivers are described. The variation in the concentration of heavy metals during recent years (data up to 1996) has been determined. The total annual quantity of some pollutants and their percentage distribution are presented. Conclusions are made based on the variation of water quality of the rivers and their impact on the heavy metal pollution of the Black Sea.

Quality Of Water

This research has investigated the quality of surface water at Baiji district of Salah Alden governorate based on 5 sampling stations for two season (September 2012 and April 2013). Water evaluation indices (i.e. heavy metal pollution index (HPI), heavy metal evaluation index (HEI) and contamination degree index (Cd)) are utilized to characterize the quality of water in term of drinking purposes. All values of HPI were lower than (15), suggesting low heavy metal pollution. The values of HEI were also less than (10), indicating low heavy metal pollution, whereas Cd values were much less than (1) for all stations, indicating low heavy metal pollution. Consequently, Tigris River water in the study area is suitable for drinking purposes in terms of heavy metal pollution.    http://dx.doi.org/10.25130/tjps.24.2019.089

Aim: To evaluate water quality of the river Birim after a two-year ban as a result of illegal mining activities in the catchment areas of the river. Methodology: Samples were taken during wet and dry seasons in acid-washed plastic containers. Two water quality indices were adapted for the river under study and used in the evaluation. These were Water Quality Index (WQI) and Heavy Metal Pollution Index (HPI). Twelve physicochemical parameters, such as pH, turbidity, conductivity, total suspended solids, total dissolved solids, total hardness, alkalinity, sulphate, phosphate, nitrate, Fluoride, and chloride which were life-threatening and generally acceptable in water quality were used to evaluate the water quality index. The computed WQI was 439.168, which fell within the unfit for drinking category with turbidity and total suspended solids positively influencing the index.  Iron, (Fe), As, Mn, and Hg were used to evaluate HPI, with an index value of 39.49, which was excellent considering a critical value of 100 set, below which the water is fit for good drinking water. Conclusion: Except for heavy metal pollution, the river Birim is unfit for drinking without chemical treatment and that, the two-year ban on artisanal small-scale mining was not enough for the river to recover fully from previous pollution episodes and hence did not have any impact on water quality of the river Birim.
